xii DSP Tools User’s Manual Motorola
We also assume that you are fluent in the programming language—whether C or
assembly language—for your project, and that if you have difficulties with it, you will
consult yourfavorite language manual.If youare developingyour application in C, then
of course you need a C cross-compiler installed on your development system. (Section
1.1, “Compilers,” on page 1-2, offers more information about available C
cross-compilers.) Likewise, if you have decided to program in assembly language, then
you need an appropriate cross-assembler installed on your host. (Section 1.2,
“Assemblers,” on page 1-3, offers more information about available cross-assemblers.)
As you work, you will need the reference manual for your cross-compiler or assembler.
There is a specific manual for each of the Motorola cross-compilers; there is a single
manual to cover all the available Motorola assemblers. You can retrieve copies of those
manuals from the Motorola website:

Similarly, you can find documentation for Motorola digital signal processors, including
their technical data sheets, their family reference manuals, and their device-specific
reference or user’s manuals at the same website.
